Like, all I know about Parkinsons and smoking, is that I smoked since I was 18, managed to quit for 2 years, 4 years ago. I then was diagnosed with Parkinsons after I had not had a cigarette for 2 years. Naturally, I started smoking again, but this did not help my Parkinsons at all. I managed to quit smoking again 14 months ago. Some claim that smokers do not get Parkinsons, and some say that the reason for this is they don't live long enough due to their smoking habit.
